Hard working Lawyer

We had a friend that we knew was innocent, and was locked up for no reason, we had to be witnesses the wife and I , David listened and applied the law , was understanding and executed the his case flawlessly. It took years but he never let us down in all that time , was patient and worked with us. M...y friend was found not guilty thanks to David’s hard work.

I'm so thankful!!!!!!!!!

Mr Gross handled my case with the upmost professionalism. I searched for lawyers for days before finding him. I found out that he was in law enforcement and who better to hire than someone who knows the law. I recommend this law office!!!!!

Mr. David Gross is an EXCELLENT attorney

I cant say enough how grateful i am to have had David by my sons side when he found himself in quite a bit trouble. My son was looking at several felonies and misdemeanors. As a mother, i was devastated an frightened for my son. This certainly had the potential to have life long effects for him. Davi...d put me at ease and I found him to be very easy to talk with. He genuinely cares about his clients and will give his all in fighting for whats in their best interest while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. Whenever i needed to speak with him he was but a phone call or text away. He always kept me well informed with what was going on. I couldnt have been more pleased with his knowledge, expertise, and abilities as an attorney or as a person. I also couldnt have been more pleased with the outcome of my sons case. Hes been put through the deferred prosecution therefore given a second chance. He has David Gross, to thank for that. As I have nothing but good things to say about him, he'll always come highly recommend by me. HIGHLY!!!

A Diamond In The Ruff

Simply put, David Gross is to the legal profession as Lebron James is to basketball, an MVP. In this day and age, it is hard to find a person let alone an attorney who has all the positive attributes that David does. I engaged David to represent me in a traffic offense matter in Jacksonville, Nor...th Carolina. Being from Ohio, I was a babe in the woods and on foreign turf. If I had not decided to fight the offense at trial it would have cost me $438.00 in fines and court costs. David did an excellent job representing me at trial. Ultimately, the judge found me INNOCENT! My only regret is that David does not practice in Ohio where I live. But, should the need ever arise, I would not hesitate to engage him again. Please feel free to use my contact information should you ever have any questions concerning what David did for me. Pete Wielicki 216-398-4843 [email protected] P.S. to my fellow motorists - Beware traveling thru North Carolina in regard to their "Move Over Law". The wording on their highway signage is not the same as the wording in their statute. They enforce the statute not the signage. SURPRISE!

Recent Criminal Case

I was arrested for a crime and was basically ignored by Mr Gross the entire time he was my attorney. Everytime I called he got very rude and told me not to call him he would call me. Over the year and a half my case dragged on he spoke to me twice and both times acted like he would rather be somewher...e else. Then the day came for my plea deal that he told me was a misdemeanor, he calls 1 hour before court and tells me he misread the deal and there is no deal I am pleaing as charged. Then tells me he will see me at court. I was like WHAT!!! You can't even read paperwork correctly. Avoid this guy he is a joke.

I am sorry if you were not happy with your representation. However, as a wise man once said, we are all entitled to our own opinion but not our own facts. I met with you on several occasions for over an hour. I returned all your calls, as I do with all my clients. Finally, I never told you that you were going to plead as charged because that is your decision to accept or take the case to trial. Best of luck on your case, I hope justice is done.
